So I've been taking in a little bit of news about the war in Ukraine...

 ...not obsessively, since I can do more by praying and donating to charitable relief agencies than by worrying myself to death giving my custom to the MSM.

An interesting point gets made about the refugees fleeing to Poland and through other Eastern European countries:  


They are predominantly women and children.


This isn't just a function of able-bodied men being required to stay behind, pick up a rifle, and defend their homeland.  It's that men will tend to do this for their families anyway.  It's not always about defending their homes literally, but it is about being the first line of defense, of giving one gun to Mom and telling her to go on ahead with the kids, while he stands in the breach with his own gun and promises to catch up later if possible.

Contrast this with what we've been seeing at our southern border, but moreso what the rest of Europe has been seeing, particularly in Germany and Scandinavia the past few years.  

In those cases?  More young single men than anything else.  What you would see if you took an army out of uniform and told them to casually infiltrate a target country.  The would-be noncombatants are there for political window dressing and colonization.

Those are not just men looking to take local wives and acculturate because the pickings are slim back home.  Those are people looking to export their way of life.  Do you want it?
